Facebook, twitter and rap music are now obsolete.

I look forward to the day the above statement is true. Real men don't, and never did "Tweet". Facebook is for attention grabbing teenagers and rap is not music. Thank GOD we don't have to put up with the disco BS anymore. "Their" plan is progressing nicely. We will soon be a planet of "Epsilon -" semi morons. Or did I miss it?

From a marketing perspective, Facebook and Twitter are not going anywhere. And I am sure there are people that think whatever music you like is crap.

Rap has been around now somewhere 3-5 times longer than surf music.

I have to admit, I like some rap, but the rap these days is really getting out there.

This is currently the most popular rap song at my kids' (almost) all white high school:

removed - language

Lyrics:

A$AP Rocky

I find it humorous seeing white-as-mayo kids driving in their Mom's car to their $1 million house blasting that.

Twitter is the medium of choice for the cigar industry. Don't know how it happened, but that's how it is.

This whole Internet thing is just a fad... it will pass...

To be honest I am surprised at raps longevity... but supply and demand... as long as someone is buying someone will keep putting it out.

If they offered me $1000 for a can of my poop, I would be in the poop biz (and eating a lot more fiber).

Wow I never realized I was an attention grabbing teenager because I use facebook to keep up with some friends and family who live very very far away, to laugh and joke with said people. I guess I'll have to make this my status.
I detest rap but I am sure most of the people out there hate the death metal I like to listen to. I am not a fan of chocolate ice cream either, I reckon there is a pigeon hole somewhere for me. (and everybody else on the planet who doesn't seem to fit where some people think we should be)

Brings to mind me with a ponytail cranking Whitesnake in my Opel Kadet

Just like Rick, I use Facebook a little. Never have twittered. cRAP music is not music. And just like Rick, those that like cRAP will likely hate my classic rock and hard rock. Dang Rick, you are a good example!
